Mainers are not happy with Collins. Demonstrators in Biddeford protesting ICE’s killing of a Colombian workman this morning swarmed her office

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

Federal judge voids Trump’s IRS settlement bc it was NOT a legitimate case and refers his attorneys including Todd Blanch for disciplinary actions to the bar. More reason that Blanch should NOT be AG. Call your senators and demand they vote NO at his confirmation hearing this week. 202-224-3121.

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump's IRS suit was improper because Trump controlled both sides of the litigation. Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints. I'm voting NO.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social packed the historic Plaza Theatre in downtown El Paso last night, taking questions directly from Texans.

The president wrote this at 3:16am. “Instead of writing inaccurate, false articles, for over 10 years now, shouldn’t it be time that they say, ‘We give up, we can’t beat him, there seems nothing we can do.’ The pressure seems to be working, keep it up. He's starting to crack. He knows he's losing.

Interesting. McConnell’s “proof of life” photo dropped shortly after this segment. 🤔 Gov. Beshear says Republicans changed the law to stop him from appointing a U.S. senator if a vacancy occurs. He argues the Kentucky Constitution gives him that authority and says he’s ready to fight it in court.

We can agree here, yes?

STFU ELONA 🖕🏼💥

Thank the gods for @marcelias.bsky.social

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

This really is the shittiest presidency ever.

Elias Law Group has defeated DOJ lawsuits to access state voter files in: California Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Wisconsin DOJ has not won a single case. It is 0-12.

No credible threat. No plan. No accountability. Just a president who rushed to war amidst his own scandals—all while raking in $4 billion for himself and leaving Americans to pay the price.

NEWS: Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a statement vowing revenge:

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

A few hundred Prince William County neighbors spent years fighting the largest data center ever proposed—23 million square feet next to the Manassas battlefield. This week the last developer standing gave up. Big Tech had billions; the neighbors won anyway. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-does...

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what.

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

The President of the United States is a liar.

MARCO RUBIO: “Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.’ IRAN: “Let me explain this in simple English: The United States is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

What happens if it's impossible to carry out 2,000 arrests every single day while complying with the law? Which comes first? The quota? Or the law? www.cascadia-journal.com/ice-ramps-up...

🎯 @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social : “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”

One day, our grandchildren will read about this with the same horror we read about 1930s Germany.

So we bought a farm in Norway and we move next week. Wish us luck 🍀 #norway #farming #coast #adventure

Exactly. Fuck the GOP for playing along!

It’s very simple: if he wasn’t part of the Epstein child trafficking and abuse, they already would have released ALL THE FILES.

Trump accused of trying to ‘rig’ elections after firing federal commissioners #TheGuardian

Data center application withdrawn, hopefully to be replaced by the housing for which the area was zoned. (Also, I want it noted for the record that i left a perfectly good "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" joke on the table, here)

ICE lied because they always do. newrepublic.com/post/212915/...

Fuck everyone who is making this country so threatening to the LGBTQ+ community www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All 3 men inside of the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo “‘reiterated that there were never any ICE agents in front of the van…They came in and started shooting from the sides.’” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.

Liking Governor Newsom.......

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I hope there’s someone who can help me understand why there was never any investigation.

MacFarlane: Welcome back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has retained its very swampy, green-like color. It’s still fenced off. It’s still inaccessible. It’s still not in its best shape. It is reflecting again, but it’s almost like it’s quarantined in its green-like state.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Yeah, we know. We’ve been saying that for 18 months.

The President of the United States is a traitor and a liar

The president of the United States is a narcissistic pathological liar.
